JHEA AU

COUNT DOWN PT2

The next morning, Rhae woke up with Jey still resting on her. His head on her chest with his arms wrapped around her. It took Rhea a few seconds to realize it, but Jey had fully slept throughout the night and didn't wake up once. Rhea smiled and kissed the top of Jey's head before running her hands up and down his back. After a few seconds, Jey started to move slowly, trying to wake himself up. Still feeling a little bit groggy, he opened up his eyes, looking out the window, seeing the sunlight come through the window, also slowly realizing that he had slept throughout the night. Jey's head pops up using his hands to push himself up to look down at Rhea. Rhea smiles brightly up at him, and her eyes hold love and adoration. Seeing his confused state, Rhea pushes up on her elbows, bringing her closer to him.

JEY: I slept through the night?

RHEA: You slept through the night, Jey. I am so happy I could cry!

JEY: Please don't. I don't want to start crying with you because if you do, I will cry.

Jey tucks is face back into Rhea's neck. Rhea uses one of her hands to run through his hair.

RHEA: Come on, baby, we have to start packing. We leave for Australia in the morning and I can't wait to show you everything! We also need to figure out what to wear for the interview with Triple H.

JEY: Ok, but after that, I wanna take you out for dinner as a date.

RHEA: Sounds like a plan, baby. What should I wear?

JEY: Wear something causal that you can move around in.

Rhea smiles and nods before getting up. Rhea pulls Jey down for a kiss, then rolls out of bed.

JEY: Hey, come back here.

Rhea turns around and walks over to him and stands in between his legs that are hanging off the bed. When she gets close enough, Jey reaches out for her and places his hands on her hips. Rhea laughs a little and runs her fingers through his hair.

RHEA: What is it?

JEY: Did you just walk away from me before I could kiss you back?

RHEA: Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't.

Jey smiles up at her and then kisses her on the lips gently, then pulls back.

JEY: There, now that's better. I got my kiss.

Rhea smiles and sits on his lap. Wrapping her arms around his neck, playing with his hair.

JEY: Can we just stay like this forever? Just us no one elses.

RHEA: You know as well as I that I would love to stay like this, but we need to rule the world. First, stop taking down your family and show them what they are missing out on. Then, everything else will fall right into place. I want the whole world to bow down to Judgment Day. With you and me personally leading the charge, of course, we have to keep the boys. I wanna see everyone to back down when they find out they have to fight you.

JEY: You have all this planned out, but just remember every king has an even more powerful queen.

RHEA: Don't worry, I will have that belt soon, but right now, my priority is you. I want the gold but I want it with you.

Jey kisses Rhea's neck and breathes in deep. Rhea holds him close and smiling, feeling his body almost collapsing into her.

RHEA: Come on, baby, once we finish packing for tomorrow, you and I will spend the rest of the day in bed until we get ready to leave for our date.

JEY: YAY! This is going to be the best date ever!

Rhea laughs and pulls his head out of her neck, and kisses his lips and forehead gently. After a few minutes, Rhea moves to stand up and go grab her suitcase.

RHEA: Jey, I just realized something. Do you have a suitcase?

JEY: Crap.

RHEA: It's ok. You can use one of mine. Remind me that we need to get you your own set, please.

JEY: OK

Jey helps Rhea reach the suitcases and put them on the bed. As the two are packing, Jey notices that Rhea is also checking her phone.

JEY: Is something wrong?

RHEA: No baby, I'm just making sure the boys are packing as well, and you know how stubborn Finn and Damian are.

Jey looks nervously at Rhea. Rhea stops what she is doing and rushes to him.

RHEA: I promise baby I eas just talking to the boys. I can show you my phone if you want, but you will see them teasing me about us and guessing what we are up to.

JEY: No, I trust you. It's just that is how I would always end up as bait in fights. Roman would be smiling at his phone whenever I was gonna be put in a situation that would cause me to get hurt.

RHEA: I would never do that to you. I would never risk your well-being for something like that.

Rhea pulls back and places her hands on the side of his face, making him look her in the eyes. Jey's eyes tear up some. Rhea notices and wipes his tears away.

RHEA: I will always be here to protect you and help you. The only time I wouldn't is if you told me not to interfere, and even then, I will still find a way to help keep you safe.

JEY: How about we protect each other both in and out of the ring.

RHEA: Deal, now let's finish up packing because I have a date tonight with a very handsome man.

JEY: Who is it? I'll fight him.

Rhea laughs and pulls him in for a kiss. Rhea pulls back some, but Jey pulls her back and kisses her back. After a few seconds, Jey pulls back, and Rhea just smiles at him and runs her fingers through his hair.

RHEA: No peaking at my outfit for tonight, so I will be kicking you out of the bedroom.

JEY: Good because I don't want to see it until later.

Rhea walks back over to the bed and finishes up packing as well as Jey. Jey takes all the suitcases downstairs to put next to the door and goes back to the bedroom to get his outfit for tonight and head to the guest room.
